Tools

We recommend that the following tools areavailable prior to installation.

• Pencil & Ruler • Measuring Tape • Jig saw or Hand saw • Masking Tape• High-grab adhesive • Silicone Sealant

Wall preparation

It is essential that walls should becompletely dry before installing Selkie andany source of dampness is treated.Wherever possible, remove existing wallcoverings such as wall paper and fabrics.Assuming walls are reasonably level/flatthen there is no need to make good thesurface to be covered.

Cutting of Panels

When using a jig-saw with upward cuttingjig-saw blade (fig 1), panels should be cutfrom the back, decorative face down toprevent chipping of the laminatesurface.When using a standard hand saw(fig 2) - decorative face should be UP.

For the best results - where possible applymasking tape along the line of cut.

Cutting Apertures

Although Selkie Board has a highly durablefinish, care should be taken when cuttingapertures or inspection hatches.

Internal corners of apertures and cut outsMUST always be smoothly radiused to aslarge as possible, with a 5mm minimumradius. This radius should be increased asthe side lengths of the aperture areincreased.

Ensure that wooden blocks are placedbelow your drilling areas to prevent' burstout' and any possible damage to thedecorative face.

Mark out cutting shape to rear face anddrill positions on front ensuring one at eachcorner.

Drill holes at suitable intervals aroundperimeter of shape on front face (fig 3).

Leave a 3mm clearance around all pipesand accessories and seal with siliconesealant.

Using jigsaw, slowly cut around perimeterof shape of cut out on rear face (fig 4).

When using a circular saw or fine-toothblade hand-saw, panels should be cutdecorative face up, with the protective filmremoved from the cutting line only.

Ensure that your fitting overlaps theaperture cut-out. (fig 5).

When measuring distance from walls, orpast shower enclosures, allowancesshould be made for the thickness ofaluminium profiles and the space betweenwalls and profiles.

2 Sided Shower Enclosure

(a) Position shower tray, level and fix inaccordance with the manufacturer’sinstructions (fig 6)

(b) Begin by securely screw fixing theinternal corner profile extrusion in therequired position (fig 7), ensuring that it isplumb in both directions.

(c) Cut the panels to the correct height andwidth. Please Note: Peel back the protectivefilm at this stage by approx. 50mm toaccommodate fitting.

After cutting - we recommend a “dry fit”(before applying adhesive or SiliconSealant) of the Selkie Board to ensurecorrect fitting.

(d) Apply a generous bead of siliconesealant into the channel of the corner profilesection (fig 8).

(e) If applying an ‘end cap’ (fig 9) apply agenerous bead of sealant along the lengthof the ‘end cap’, then fix into position byapplying hand pressure across the full areaof the panel.

Please note: take care not to applyexcessive silicone to channels in profiles

(f) Apply a bead of panel adhesive aroundthe perimeter on the back surface of thepanel along with a grid (approx 300mmsquares) covering the full area of the panel(fig 10).

(g) The Selkie Board should be fitted to bepositioned just above the shower tray.Using ‘packers’, leave a 3-4 mm gap fromthe base of the Selkie board to the topedge of the shower tray.

(h) Ease the panel into the corner profile (fig 11).

(i) When the adhesive has set and theSelkie Board securely in position removethe ‘packers’.

(j) Fill the gap between the tray and thepanel with silicone so the panel iseffectively sitting on a “bed” of sealant.

(k) Run bead of silicone to face of gapensuring a neat smooth “perfect” finish

(l) Repeat the same process on theadjacent panel.

(m) Remove the remainder of theprotective film to complete the installation(fig12)’.

3 Sided Shower Enclosure

When installing three Selkie Boards in a ‘U’shape formation - follow the aboveguidelines, however ensure that thesecond internal corner profile is fitted to‘panel 2’ - middle panel, prior to fixing to‘wall and before ‘installing panel 3’ (fig 13).

It is always wise to dry fit first to ensurea good fit.

Accessories and Sealants

Important accessories to help with asuccessful installation of Selkie Boardinclude:

Finishing Trims: designed specifically forSelkie Board are available in satin silver,polished chrome, white & black including:-Internal Corner Profile, External CornerProfile, End Cap,Quad End cap & 'H'section (for joining of consecutive squareedged Boards).

Sealants and Adhesives: For best resultswe recommend that Selkie Board isinstalled using an external grade 'high grabadhesive' such as GRIPP FILL. This willquickly secure the Selkie Board to the fixedwall. For sealing of all profiles and trims werecommend the use of a clear siliconewaterproof sealant.

If you are panelling an entire wall usingtongue and grooved* panels, werecommend the use of Rearo colourmatched sealant for a seamless finish.*Please see Tongue and Grooved installation guide.

Panseal Kit

Where it is identified that there maybe arisk of movement such as a flexible floor orthe possibility of settlement it may beappropriate to use a system such as“Panseal”. The Panseal kit ensures thatthe joint between the bottom of the SelkieBoard and the top of the shower tray issecure and watertight. (fig 14)Please see fitting instructions supplied with kit.
